MANAGERS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Managers are more than implementers of strategy. They are the single biggest lever for driving performance and shaping workplace culture, because they define the everyday experience. The determine whether people thrive or survive. 

The problem? Managers often find themselves doing it all. Delivering at pace themselves, whilst also executing through and with their teams, often wishing they had more time or tools for the conversations that really matter. What they need is practical development. Yet too often, management development is theoretical and disconnected from real life.

That’s where CRUX comes in. Designed specifically to develop the skills, behaviours and mindsets for today’s world of work. Managers come away with a practical toolkit for all their greatest management dilemmas.

IN
THEIR

WORDS

"I thoroughly enjoyed it and looked forward to it every month. Karen and Matt are skilful facilitators and the content is always incredibly digestible - both visually and through the more theoretical areas. Highlights would be the role plays, in particular the coaching module."

"I've really enjoyed the course and felt it's had a big impact on me as a manager, coach and leader. The theory was always interesting but what I found most useful was the practical tips, processes and ideas that we could take away and put into practice. I've used multiple of these already with my direct report and they've helped generate some really interesting conversations."
